1st Team All Pro - LB Fred Warner | Page 312

If he plays, I think that tips the outcome in our favor. I can't imagine that the lift of his being back on the field wouldn't lift us over the top. If he can make the effort to come back from that injury, then the rest of the rest of the team won't have any excuse not to give their absolute best on every play.

Dude is probably a little sore given that it was his first practice in over 3 months.

Sure he was based on the post his wife made

I'm cool with if he ain't ready don't go. Either way we've GOT to stop the run and make Darnold beat us and I think we will be able to do that this week with Kendricks Wallow and Winters. Stuff the run and make Darnold play QB for four quarters

This. And hopefully get some pressure on Darnold - make him uncomfortable as much as possible.

I'm drinking hopeium and say that they did not want Fred to practice two days in a row, they would do this to anyone coming back from an injury like that... he starts against the cawks.

Well, this pretty much confirms he won't be playing on Saturday. But, that is ok. Just need to win!

I think it's premature to say he is playing based on practicing yesterday, and also premature to say he is not playing based on not doing so today.

Just need to wait and see.

Yeah I guess we should know soon from Kyle today if there is still hope or if he will shut it down completely for this game.
